From the elegance of a society wedding in yesterday's image to the rustic charm of a street scene in Leap, Co. Cork. It seems to have been a bit windy judging by the lassies pinafore outside Donovan's. The is a God (I am dyslexic), some chucks and some very curious little ones (with a shy one behind).

Mr French / Lawrence was there also - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000040493

my dogometer is slow today, it is lying by the garden wall, excellent spotting - Danny

Interesting to compare the difference in resolutions between the two photos, Lawrence being far in front
ɹǝqɯoɔɥɔɐǝq
I don't think there is a lot of time difference between the two photos, just a season, by the vegetation. Same Dog (see note) and the wall is repaired (see other note). Same insulators on the telegraph pole. The Lawrence photo has a 'Cork Examiner' poster with possibly Monday September 11 (?? needs better eyesight than mine), which happened in 1905 and 1911.

Donovans and O'Donovans are deep in the the history of Leap - and crossing the gorge into West Carberry still feels like a big deal. If you're driving West from Cork City, once you're past Leap it feels like you're really entered the West!

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/] I wonder if it might be Sept 1908. The reference to Sevenoaks & the inquest of a general makes me think it might have to do with Major General Luard whose inquest was reported in the Kent newspaper in late August 1908. www.anglozuluwar.com/images/Journal_36/The_curious_case_o...

Tempting, but date is definitely Sept 191?, maybe
davehanley1
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ trees look a little bare to be September?
suckindeesel
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ No, the Lawrence one has the Sept Cork Examiner poster. The date is not quite clear. Compare with the equivalent poster in the later one, Not resolvable at all.

Perhaps it was a Leap Year.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/bernardhealy] That Sevenoaks General inquest in 1908 is looking good for the Lawrence photo. Trove is full of tittle-tattle in August / September 1908 - trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/newspapers?keyword=seven... Which implies this photo is after September 1908, and in the winter or early spring 1909 (the trees). Could be imagining it; the 'LECTURE' poster says "Monday April...". Or maybe not??

Next door in the catalogue is OCO 273, we thought before 1913:

And OCO 272 is 1900 to 1905:
Niall McAuley
OCO 276 is 1906-1917:
Niall McAuley
OCO 277 looks consistent with OCO 158, 1911-14

I believe the poster in Donovan's window today says: LECTURE LIFE OF ST. PATRICK KINSALE? HOTEL something

There is a Donovan, Mrs. H, grocer and draper in Leap in the 1920 Guys corkpastandpresent with all the other Guys almanacs is out of action for a re-write.

Something off in 1901 and 1911 census, I only see part of Leap in each (the Droum/Drom part I think)

Before this parochial hall, built 1913, per the NIAH

OK, I think the rest of Leap is listed as the townland North of Crom, Kilmacabea. Hannah Donovan is here with single daughters Nell (30) and Teresa (29). I would guess it is one of the daughters at the door.
Niall McAuley
On September 4th 1911 (after the census), Ellen Maria Donovan of Leap married Jeremiah Collins, a Draper from Skibbereen. Her father was Bartholomew Donovan, shopkeeper.
Niall McAuley
In 1901, their brother Bartholomew was there, too.
Niall McAuley
Bartholomew the da died in 1884 aged 41 of consumption. Address Leap Kilmacabea, a General Merchant. Bartholomew Jnr. born just a couple of months earlier, mothers name given as Johanna née Crowley. On their marriage record, we learn that in 1876 Bartholomew was a farmer, and Hannah Crowley was the shopkeeper in Leap.

I think I read the headline "CATHOLICS AND THE GOVERNMENT" in the similar Lawrence.
Niall McAuley
There seems to have been a lot of news about Catholics and an Education Bill and the implications for Catholic schools in the UK from 1906 to 1908.
